Carvers Gap Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 We are not quite to the bell lap which is winter, but if we are running the 1500m on the track...this is just about lap 3. Man, what a beautiful day out there. This has been a glorious stretch of days for what normally is the sweltering, sweaty mess which is August. How long does it last? IDK, but for every day like today, that is just one less day of the dog days. One of my kids asked me this morning if it was going to be this "cold" all day. That is not a question one gets often during August!!!! Anyway, that is more of an observation, but indeed, this is the pattern thread for September-October-November. Please keep the summer thread going until August is through. However, if those thoughts begin to include September - October...then go ahead and place them here if you choose. Hope this isn't too early to begin the Fall thread - no trying to step on any toes. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bob Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Met Fall starts in two weeks which is in the medium range now so it is a perfect timing! Not to mention the weather feels more Septemberish... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 September looks to come in and remain chilly if the models are to be believed. It would be nice to have an actual cool down in fall rather than the burners we've had lately. Makes for tough Friday evening football. Comfortable weather would be a refreshing change.

John1122 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 The GFS pulled a fast one at 12z, will see if it's a blip or a trend. Several days in a row it's had a big cool shot to close out the month and begin next month. At 00z it had lows in the 40s for Sept 1st for a large part of the region. 12 hours later, lows near 75 and a heatwave with highs in the mid 90s to low 100s. At 00z Sept 1st at 1pm central the temp was forecast to be 68 in Nashville, at 12z it's now forecast to be 99. That's a mega swing. It did that often last winter too, with 30 and 40 degree temperature differences from run to run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Tis the season for tropical systems to increase model volatility. I was looking at some ensemble spread, reasonably tight through day 7 and then blows wide open by day 10 (looks more like day 14). Late August things. Short-term late next week toward Labor Day I could see Tennessee Valley temps verify above current forecast. If a tropical system enters the Gulf and approaches the US (even if just on its way to elsewhere) we'll probably get subsidence heat on the north side. Oh joy! Long-term we have Pacific action ramping up. Global models can't decide where to put the resulting troughs and ridges in the North Pacific into Alaska. China landfalls would amp up the ABNA and could be warm. Japan recurves could amp up Alaska, and bring our lovely East trough. Are you ready for some football? Weather. Atlantic also stays active on Ensembles the full two weeks. Deeper into September a tropical cyclone to our east can bring down cooler air. West still acts like a warm front, heat humidity and all. My gut is saying reasonable September temps - for the first time in years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxjagman Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Euro and GFS has a recurving phoon into the Sea of Japan possiibly but it just gets absorbed by a trough.Euro seems to show a mid level ridge building into the Central Plains today in the long range so the storm(tropical gen if it happens) it seems could just meander around the Bahamas for a couple days.There seems to be a trough going through East Asia the middle of the week,so that could be a player if the storm hits between Florida and the Carolinas or OTS.Least the weather got exciting to me anyways 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Maybe the Atlantic will give us something to watch. Wall of shear in the Caribbean at the moment. Euro wants to weaken it midweek but the damage may be done. Don't forget to visit the main Tropical Headquarters too. Meanwhile in the Pacific both the US Navy and Japan Met Agency have typhoons going straight west toward China. Forecast ends still at sea. Anyway that could bump up the ABNA which is not a cool weather pattern for North America. No surprise model extended forecasts (1-15 day) warmed up over the weekend. It's not crazy hot, but annoying after hope last week. September is starting to look less cool, but on the optimistic side there's no reason to go blowtorch either. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern parts of South Korea is fixing to take a big hit by the models from the phooon.Tropical system in the east looks like a fish storm,OTS.I'm ok with that because like you mentioned it would be like starting the furnace up again for us,unusual quiet season tho this year in the tropics,more like a NINO year.So ready for fall !! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted September 6, 2022 Author Share Posted September 6, 2022 Euro seasonal with a classic endless summer sig all the way into November. Looks like the ridge sets up shop out West sometime in December and carries into January. Part of December looks quite warm on the seasonals, but the upper air pattern is centered westward which seems to signal a flip sometime about mid-month(heavy extrapolation by me) if the model is correct. January looks good re: upper air pattern. That would be an old fashioned winter seasonal transition. Shoulder season so take with a HUGE grain of salt, but a La Nina pattern appears set to persist. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Boone Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 If Nina is the dominant driver , late fall and early Winter may buck the seasonal Euro November/ December Outlook. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. Seasonal models seem to want to center a cold shot towards late December into January. HOWEVER, as you aptly note, climatology would favor a cold Nov/Dec. Not a slam dunk by any means as I am sure there are a cluster of colder Januarys(thinking of @John1122's examples from last year or the year prior). Also, man, I am not expert on third year La Nina's. Since really beginning to follow the wx, I don't think I have seen too many(maybe 1 or 2). Plus, the Euro seasonals IMHO are not super accurate until the month before the winter season begins. Lots of wiggle room right now. Great post though! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third year's are almost in a class of their own. Don't know exactly why. This Summer's Pattern attests to that. The lack of Atlantic Tropical activity; robust Pacific. Pretty much opposite of typical Nina. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 The GFS is showing a crazy heat dome in the center of the country in about 8-12 days. On day 9 the 0z is showing 105-110 for West Tennessee, NW Miss, and Arkansas. The Euro isn't as hot, the Canadian isn't as hot either but it's spread out across the forum area with temps near 90-95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holston_River_Rambler Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 What is it, like 2 weeks after the recurve that we sometimes get a nice Canadian airmass? After yesterday evening and this AM I want more of this wonderful weather. Looked like a pretty good cool shot out in lala land on 6z GFS, trying to make its way across the US.

John1122 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 The GFS is hot still, but not as hot as it was 36 hours ago, which was bonkers hot, the Canadian is cooler than the GFS and the Euro is cooler than the Canadian at D8-10. The ensembles are seemingly hotter than the ops. One thing that does appear to happen, it will get dry here during that time frame. I hate it when we get really hot and dry as leaves begin to fall due to wildfire danger literally in my back yard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrgjeff Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Heat next week looks like moderate humidity and low temps in the 60s; so, it won't be horrible. Even if we get well into the 90s it won't feel anything like August. Lower sun angle too. Though computer models have amped up next week the last 36 hours or so, just overnight some dents in the ridge show by Day 10. With zig zag models we are due for a downtrend. Just one more reason it won't be too bad next week. However AN temps will probably be dominant the rest of the month. Enjoy mornings like the last couple when we get them. Eventually fall wx will be consistent, right when football gets back into the heart of conference play. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carvers Gap Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 At least the past 3 runs of the GFS like bringing a tropical system into the forum area late next week. Still PLENTY of time for that time change, but something in the medium to long range to keep an eye on... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holston_River_Rambler Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 If the Euro verifies (la la land warning), t'would be a brisk day above 5000' in NW sections wrt to the potential tropical system 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save the itchy algae! Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Curious what Hurricane Ian does to the area. Historically Tropical systems have a way of setting in fall some years but summer has already largely eased off any way. Could be some blustery days ahead for higher elevations.

nrgjeff Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Yeah @Save the itchy algae! it'll be windy through the Mountains this weekend. I think 15-30 mph in the Valley; mostly 15-20 mph with G30 mph. Should (I hope) be too early to screw up mountain leaves. Then one can check rainfall forecasts at WPC or NHC. I hate what's happening in Cuba; Ian acts like no land is there. I'm also quite concerned for Florida. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got back from prepping the other home for the storm, the Floridians don’t care in my area…was the only one sandbagging. With the track shifting south east they may take it more seriously now. The locals are saying Ian is a Hurricane Charley clone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
